I’m no expert, but as an annual passholder, I go to Disneyland about 8-10 times a year. Things have changed since Stevie came around. (And they will likely change again once he turns 3 because of the cost). But for now, these are just some tips I have kept in mind over the years, especially…

Stevie & Mama Go to Disneyland
Most of you know that Stevie and I keep a pretty packed schedule. Between 8 therapy sessions a week and preschool and errands and naps and whatever else comes our way, we don’t have a ton of free time. And I never thought I was the type of person who relied on schedules and plans.…
Heart-iversary Disney Day
We finally did it. A month after Stevie’s actual heart-iversary, we went to Disneyland to celebrate this little heart warrior. It was kind of fitting, actually, since we went during CHD Awareness Week. This was something Paul and I talked about doing while we were still in the hospital. Stevie was recovering, lying in the…
Family Reunion Disneyland Day
During our family reunion, we took a day away from the nice, cool beach to spend some time at fun, hot Disneyland. I loved going with more kids and more family than I usually go with. It is always a treat to spend time with everyone. But to spend time with them and take snapshots…
Disneyland Day
Stay-cation Day #2: Disneyland! (You knew this was coming right?) We actually went to Disneyland twice during this stay-cation. I know, it sounds nuts. My sister and I just knew that when we went with a bigger group, we wanted to be flexible and not feel like we had to squeeze everything in. So we…
CarsLand! #JustGotHappier
Wanna see some pictures of the cutest place ever? A little place known as Radiator Springs? Oh man, Disney. You have outdone yourself with this one… I’m kind of glad I chose to bring my camera instead of my kid. (Mean mom alert!) So my pal Heather and I had a cool opportunity. As Annual Passholders…
The Breakdown of a Great Disney Day
8:00am: Wake up and play with the tyke for a bit after Daddy feeds him breakfast. 9:30am: Decide that since it’s going to be such a lovely day, that we simply must make a trip to Disneyland. 10:00 am: Start getting ready. Pack some food in the stroller, get my fanny pack ready, and give…
Drama
Can this day be over now? To make me feel better, here are some pics from Disneyland! Ah, doesn’t that feel better?
Star Tours 2.0
Does anyone else remember how AWESOME Star Tours was when it first opened? I remember as a kid riding it over and over and over again. I came off the ride with big excited eyes and just couldn’t wait to do it again! As the years went on, that excitement diminished quickly. It got to…
The Events
OK, so let’s talk about what we did while the cutest nephew in the world was visiting. (I should mention that my sister was here too. I know she sometimes gets overshadowed by the cuteness of the kid, but she is fun to be around too! She’s such a good mom and likes to have…
